Why It Matters

• Board continuity: Election of all 11 nominees means the current board slate remains in place, which preserves the company's governance and strategic continuity.
• Governance and pay oversight: The advisory Say on Pay passed by a wide margin, signaling shareholder approval of executive compensation as disclosed. However, several governance/ESG-related shareholder proposals were decisively rejected, indicating shareholders did not support those proposed changes at this meeting.
• Auditor continuity: Ratification of Deloitte ensures continuity of the company's external audit for fiscal 2026.
  Investors tracking governance, executive pay, or ESG proposals can use these outcomes to assess shareholder sentiment and board direction.
